ESPN Ranks the Bantamweights; Big Drop for Champion

ESPN released their latest 135 pound rankings. The Bantamweights stack up well against each other overall, but the top three spots continue to be locked down by Urijah Faber, UFC Interim Champion Renan Barao, and Champion Dominick Cruz.

One of the biggest drops in the list was Eduardo Dantes who slid from number five down to number nine. The Bellator Champion found himself unconscious on the receiving end of a KO. Dantes competed in a Shooto fight that got little coverage if any at all. Despite the loss, he gets to keep the belt, but the knockout was damaging to his image and stock as a champion.
